Coffee, most days, is a means to an end. Black, hot and loaded with caffeine to jump-start your day. Other days, it's chance to relax in a quaint little setting. Here are a few Wisconsin shops that provide a splash of charm with each cup of coffee.

This coffeehouse is so quaint its small-batch roaster (ACOCA roasts beans daily) is on display in the front window. The hidden gem coffee option is a steamed cold brew. You get hot coffee with the mellow tasting notes of cold brew.

Refurbished tin ceiling, exposed brick wall and restored hardwood floors pour on the charm. Bakery treats are made from scratch daily. Check the chalkboard for the featured drink. The coconut mocha I had was like drinking a Mounds Bar.

Outside, the building looks like it came from a Western movie set. Inside, pops of bright yellow create a cheery spot to sip your morning away. For the adventurous drinker, try the Beautiful Burnt Goat latte with steamed goat milk and burnt caramel syrup.

For those of us who love the vintage '50s vibe (guilty), stop here. Take a seat in a chair that could've come from your grandparents kitchen. Barista pours are powered by Colectivo beans. When in season, the pumpkin spice latte includes real pumpkin puree.

Another Colectivo disciple, the setting checks off all the boxes of a charming little place to get your caffeine fix. Intimate. Comfy couch. Coffee options ranging from black to latte to nitro cold brew.

Family owned department stores are a rarity. Those with a coffee shop nestled into the building's framework are more rare. Sit and drink in a little history at this coffee shop named after the bank that once occupied this space.

Part coffee shop, part bookstore, it's a lovely setting to sit and sip a hot drink. Imagine if your local library opened a coffee shop in its lobby. Better yet, two signature mochas feature toasted marshmallow.

Tucked away at the edge of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus, this coffeehouse is never short on cute cutout cookies or themes for its latte board. Plus you never know when edible glitter or a ghost pepper syrup will show up as a latte option.
